“The two-planet pileup occurred within the last few thousand years or so - a relatively recent cosmic timeframe.

The other was most likely a Mercury-sized-planet and survived, albeit severely dented.”

“The leading theory of the moon's origin is that a Mars-sized body collided with Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. The resulting debris from both Earth and the impactor accumulated to form our natural satellite 239,000 miles (384,000 kilometers) away.”
